The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Biden administration on Wednesday renewed the public health emergency determination for monkeypox.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said in a statement that his decision to renew the public health emergency was “a result of the continued consequences of an outbreak of monkeypox cases across multiple states.” He had consulted with public health officials before renewing the determination.

*** As of Wednesday, the CDC has recorded 77,573 monkeypox cases globally and 38 deaths. It has recorded 28,492 cases of monkeypox in the United States, with the death toll at 8.

Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-R.I.), chair of the LGBTQ+ Equality congressional caucus, praised the renewal of the public health emergency determination, saying it will ensure continued support to address the outbreak.

“Thanks to vaccination efforts across the country, the contraction and spread of MPV has decreased significantly. However, MPV continues to spread and is disproportionately impacting people of color. We must bolster support and resources—including by appropriating sufficient funds—to help these communities and end this outbreak,” Cicilline added. *** According to the CDC, data suggests at this time that “gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men make up the majority of cases in the current monkeypox outbreak.”

I though HHS Admiral Transfaggot would have eradicated it by now.

Possibly the most preventable pox around.

[elpadre]

a total of 8 deaths in the US hardly qualifies as an emergency. There are probably dozens of other contagious diseases in the US with higher death rates for which no emergency has been called..

That's weird. It's almost like a pattern is forming. Nah, that can't be.

These first two categories don't cover everything in this arena?

Now, here's where social distancing of 6 feet might actually work........

“Monkeypox Paul” Pelosi is the first one checked.

other men who have sex with men

In the same time period more people have probably died from heart attacks because their kid hid the TV remote from them when their favorite show was about to start.

I agree. Couldn’t possibly be. /S

Monkeypox: Homos affected most.

Homo diseases affect the fewest but suck up the most dollars and mindshare. It's a good thing we were able to prevent polio before the homos came on the scene. Otherwise "Polio? No can do; get in line behind the homos."
